Saturday morning I wandered around the house going to each window to look out and take photos of the beauty outside…

it snowed a lot overnight, but the lovely light kind of snow… the trees were gorgeous…

sometime later my housemate was outside blowing the steps and sidewalks…

he doesn’t like to be photographed, lol…

on his return home later he made sure the driveway was shovelled…

I truly am blessed;-)…

backtracked…

at 6 am, it looked great out the window… when I woke up again at 8, the window was covered with snow and it was blowing like crazy outside…

but my buddy and I went on an adventure anyway, lol…

when I started down the sidewalk I realized how deep the snow was, so backtracked and went down the driveway, which was clear…

as soon as I arrived home, I shovelled the sidewalk… some places were six inches deep…

didn’t do anything else as I assumed it was still going to blow more snow around…

looked good, especially from in the house, lol…

we will see how it looks tomorrow;-)…

toppled…

the wind has been blowing a lot in the last few days…

today, it was so strong that it toppled the elephant ear plant in the pond… I had thought it was secure, but all of a sudden it blew over… dug out my water shoes, found some very large rocks, and climbed in and stood it back up, circled it with the rocks as well as adding a few on top of it…

the rocks were so big, it raised the water level and a few of the lily pads went back under the water, lol…

I didn’t spot the frog, but a number of house sparrows and a few chipping sparrows stopped by to drink and have a bath…

the chickadees have returned and two of them were really looking around… I was wondering if they were searching for a spot to nest as I hadn’t seen this particular behaviour previously…

this morning it was hard to tell whether there were more leaves or snow blowing…

not really what is expected at this time of the year, sigh…

I had been laughing just before because when I looked outside the bird feeder was on the ground and the squirrel and birds were enjoying how easy it was to get the seeds…

maybe the raccoon had come by and taken it off the pole… which had been leaning way over again…
